I added a few in of photos I edited for class assignments and was proud of! The photo of my horses and the photo of ...

    My 20 minute blitz!

    by
    This week’s major assignment was to go on a 20 minute photo-blitz somewhere with lots of interesting subjects. The assignment was to take a photo of your start time and end time and then take as many photos as possible in between. The goal was to take photos that fit into certain categories. (Such as ...

    Colorfully playing in a black and white world.

    by
    This assignment was called Splash the color. It is visual assignment 340. “Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object” I chose a picture of my cousin playing in the leaves last fall. It is one of my favorite ...

    Balding papa turtle has no hair to dry.

    by
    Wednesday’s Daily Create assignment was “Bald is beautiful! Photograph the egghead in your life!” I chose a photo of my dad! He is ALWAYS wearing a hat, so it is somewhat rare to see his bald head, but he’s bald! I promise. He says that’s what happens when you live in a house with three ...

    Blitzkrieg Photoshoot

    by
    This weeks big assignment was to do a Photoblitz: Basically, you have 20 minutes to take as many pictures as possible and try to complete items that are on the list. I uploaded my whole Photoblitz on flickr: We were supposed to pick out 5 of our best shots, can you guess what these are? START ABSTRACT 2 THINGS THAT DO NOT BELONG TOGETHER DOMINATED BY A SINGLE COLOR CONVERGING LINES SOMEONE ELSE’S PAW END I met a friend down at the rescue station after work to do my photoblitz. We were going to walk downtown…but it decided it was going to rain from about 4pm -ALL NIGHT! So we … Continue reading

    Other people’s words

    by
    For an assignment that I didn’t enjoy nearly as much as I thought I would, I certainly went a bit overboard with it. There’s another newsprint blackout poem under the cut, as well as my own spin on the art form. Weirdly, I think the reason I found this assignment less awesome than I initially ...

    A bit Overdone

    by
    As I was looking for my last star, I came across an older assignment that was actually submitted by one of my good friends! I didn’t even know she took this class. Since I knew the creator, I decided that it was meant to be. I also thought the idea of over-editing yourself was funny! ...

    Daikatana Band

    by
    Don’t know what Daikatana is? Me either. BUT, I did land on it randomly by doing my fourth visual assignment, “An Album Cover“. I think this is the coolest visual assignment I’ve done yet. Click the link and learn more if you want to make your own album cover! Here’s how I made mine. Step 1. Click for the random Wikipedia page. This will be your band name. I got Daikatana: Step 2. Get a random quote. The last few words of the last quote is your new band’s album title. I got the quote, “After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done.”: Step … Continue reading

    Look What I Found!

    by
    ME!!! This is my third visual assignment and it was called “Find Yourself“. Sure, I probably could have been a little more creative in finding letters that spell R-O-B in the environment, but this place has a story with me. When I was growing up, my family used to play a game on car rides to find each members name on a store or such. My name NEVER came up. (I guess people named Rob or Robert aren’t big entrepreneurs) We would always see Mark, Bonnie, and Dan while driving around on the East Coast, but never a Rob. I kinda just figured there was no place named “Rob’s”. Glad … Continue reading

    Hit list

    by
    Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. Behold! My list of favorite photos, fresh from Flikr (and alliterative to boot)! I used flickrSLiDR to create the slideshow, in case you’re wondering. All the photos I chose for my ‘greatest hits’ set are either images I feel represent my best photography in a technical sense (good composition, lighting, emotionally ...

    This assignment was neat! It took some impromptu acting. I chose to do this assignment in my apartment. The only photo that I could not get was the 1st one, converging lines. I started the assignment at 11:30 and ended … Continue reading

    Coming soon on RadTASTIC Radio…

    by
    That’s right boys, girls and zombified ex-humans: we’re bringing you the zombie apocalypse in faux-real-time radio drama form. Team RadTASTIC consists of myself, Daniel, Paul, Crystal, and our newest addition, Rob! The zombie apocalypse theme is a well-explored one, and came up fairly early in our brainstorming over what kind of radio show we wanted ...

    Daily Create Suggestion

    by
    My favorite assignment so far this semester was the Audio Creation, most enjoyable.. hands down. I think as an assignment adding super cool effects to your favorite song would be kind of fun. I hope everyone like this idea!!

    Blitzed out

    by
    I was a little worried about completing the 20-minute photo blitz since all I have in the way of a camera right now is the crappy little thing in my cell phone. It can’t even upload pictures directly to a computer without a bit of a backdoor hack. While I know it’s the photographer who ...

    Drawing A Cat

    by
    So as I was trying to figure out what other VisualAssignment to do for the week, I came across this one. It seemed quite simple and I thought I could use Pixlr again. Turns out, I was wrong. I couldn’t figure out how to use Pixlr to do this. I went back to the assignment ...

    Common Object, Uncommon Colors

    by
    I am big into color changing, so I was excited when I came across another assignment that involved taking ordinary things and giving them different colors. I randomly came across this assignment, so I didn’t have any idea of what object I wanted to do. I am also having a lazy day, so I didn’t ...

    Picasso’s Pup Plays with Yarn

    by
    cc licensed (BY) flickr photo shared by cogdogblog Today’s Daily Create is to draw an abstract image of an animal tdc.ds106.us/tdc263/ (most cool since it was submitted this week by one of my students). My idea was to see if I could draw a version of my friend’s Beagle,Annie, in a new style. The dog needed something to play with, so I started to draw a ball, which became a ball of yarn which became unravelled and, um,,, well there you go. Today’s Daily Create is to draw an abstract image of an animal tdc.ds106.us/tdc263/ which is most cool since it was submitted this week by one of my students. While the Daily Creates have been pre-scheduled past the end fo the year, I swapped one out to slip in Brittany’s TDC suggestion. My idea was to see if I could draw a version of my friend’s Beagle,Annie, in a ...
